MOON PULL
Rising moon
pulls me
calls me outside
to walk under brilliant clouds
in the quiet evening
lit by lunar radiance,
no longer by your presence.

Sweet Planet Poems 
Julie Maren, what a delight to hear from you! I think about you all the time, as I look at my beautiful moon sculpture and your paintings which adorn the house. I’ll email you about the 18th. Thanks so much for visiting Sweet Planet Poems and for finding me online.
Monica! I just googled you and found you wonderful blog- and then I just saw the “moon” tag and read your poem. I had no idea you were a poet! I have so enjoyed perusing your site- your beautiful words, images and thoughts.
I would love to catch up with you! May I invite you and Craig to an event in Denver on Aug 18th? If so, I need your email address.
All the best and once again, beautiful!!!

Hi Sandy, And more on the way, from your pictures. Nice to have a break, with spring around the corner – do you think?
Love your comment, Laz. Thank you!
Thanks so much, Richard!
Thank you, Ian. I know the moon plays an important part in your poetry.
It really seems to – thank you, Bluebee.
Such a lovely comment, Kenny.
Thank you so much, Chloe — hope the moon is shining on you.
Androgoth, you are truly a poet. Beautiful.
An almost haunting experience as one gathers pace below the moonlit skies, a shadow caught from a bended branch and an echo of the Wolf beyond the horizon, the enchanting pull of the moon as it glimpses through the clouds rupturing emotive feelings of wonder and of course the hint of trepidation…
A very nice piece of poetry my great friend, I can see from your readers that i am not the only one to enjoy it… Be well now Monica of Sweet Planet Poems.

P.S. Pen, I am so honored that you posted this on my site! Breathtaking!
Pen, this is utterly magical.
many thanks for your lovely comment Monica, glad you enjoyed my foray into Earth’s birthing pool. I had to come back and view your photo’s again, I lay in bed last night awake, mind was working and wanted to add this extra verse to my poem…
who am I
who missed the chance
who am I ?
To command tides to dance,
who am I?
You are the Moon,
Earths only satellite,
You Birthed too soon..
xPenx.
love this one Monica, 🙂
so powerfully this full moon pulls!
Thanks,
Peace,
Laz
Enjoyed the poem.
I must say that middle picture is beautiful.
what a terrific sunset
The beauty of the moon , captivating young lovers hearts ,bringing memories to aged minds , strolls hand in hand , vows of eternal love , farewells to wars , the happiness of reunions and hidden in lovers hearts the moon has smiled on lovers stolen moments.
Beautiful blog Princess , reviving memories.
Ian
Nice job! And yes, I do love the moon in the yard.
A lot of was were able to see, and capture the moon this moon. That makes up for all the extreme weather in the past couple of weeks.
